	Hi!  For those of you who have been following the deskjet saga, here
is some new information, and some replies to suggestions.

	The problem with printing out multiple pages is that the first line of
the second page is moved down two line, and the first line of the third page is
moved down two lines, and so on, and so on.  This naturally plays havoc with
the paper position.  I don't know how to stop this.

	Another problem is with the left and right margins.  Despite setting
them to both be 1.0 inch, the left margin is half an inch.  To correct this, I
have to set it at 1.5.  Why?

	I found the source of my memory questions.  In the March 89 issue of
The Amiga Sentry, there is a review of Taxbreak by Glenn M. Heck Jr., who
states that after calling both HP and Oxxi, he found that "...you must have
expanded printer memory in order to print the facsimile."  p.42.  That's
what had me worried.  However, it has since printed out large pictures with
no problems.  I have no idea if there's a memory problem or not.

	Suggestions that were offered to fix my problem have been many. 
Thanks a lot to all of you who took the time to write me.  Unfortunately, none
of them have really helped me.  The factory settings are unchanged, I'm using
the parallel port, and I'm using 1.3 printer drivers with the 1.3 device.

	What gets me is that with wordperfect, using the HP Laserjet II
definition, it works fine.  Perfectly.  It's only with the 1.3 that I'm having
problems.  Any new ideas out there?

	One side note:  I borrowed a friend's Professional Page to try it out.
The print out, besides ejecting several blank pages at the end, was horrible!!
And it wasn't the printer's fault.  The deskjet can do much better print outs
than what I got.  Is Professional Page just a piece of junk without postscript?
I don't want to have to find a postscript printer every time I want to print
something out.

				Thanks,
